Cannot read mkdirs of null about ui-lottie

[bradmartin]

Error is on line 387 of the first file in the stack trace. So it's throwing from core file-system on android.

The line is : javaFile.getParentFile().mkdirs(); - so the parent file is returning null causing the issue. Not sure why. Seems like a file is missing.

[kryptus36]

Right, and the filename in question is a json file, which exists in App_Resources/Android/src/main/assets so I'm a little confused.

[farfromrefug]

What s the src value ?

[kryptus36]

src="1801-fireworks.json"

The loaded function just has a console.log call in it (and never fires, obviously)

I'm running the latest nativescript available

[farfromrefug]

@kryptus36 you did not set any path to the file. It simply cant find it. You need to add the path tothe file

[kryptus36]

I'm misunderstanding then. From the examples and demo code I thought the path was relative to App_Resources/Android/src/main/assets

What should the path be?

[farfromrefug]

@kryptus36 depends on where you put it. It works like any resource handling in . like image https://v7.docs.nativescript.org/ui/components/image

When I download LottieLogo1.json from the sample dir on this project and put it in app/assets/lotttie/LottieLogo1.json Then set

<StackLayout> <Lottie:LottieView src="~/assets/lottie/LottieLogo1.json" height="130" loop="true" autoPlay="true" loaded="{{ lottieLoaded }}" /> </StackLayout>

I get

Unable to parse composition

Much better now please share your package.json.

Thanks for your time on this.

Ok that wont help.as you are using ^. Because of that i dont know which version you are using. You need to look this up in your project

[kryptus36]

"name": "@nativescript-community/ui-lottie",
"version": "4.3.0",
"description": "NativeScript plugin to expose AirBnB Lottie library",
"main": "lottie",

[farfromrefug]

@kryptus36 just released 4.3.1 which fixes urls like 1801-fireworks.json
I didnt know about this syntax and it now works.
About your latest issue it is a bit weird i cant reproduce it. Let me know how it goes with latest version

[kryptus36]

Seems to be working now. Much appreciated!
